How long before you wore jeans etc



Recommended Posts

The surgery place told me to wear a sundress tomorrow that I wouldn't want anything touching my waist. Did you guys experience that and if so how long before you felt comfortable in normal clothes?

I just went back to work at 4.5 weeks. I've lost 16 lbs and while my jeans are loose, but sitting all day in them doesn't feel good (8 hours +2 commute) . My belly button incision starts to get annoyed, so I basically sit with my pants unbuttoned. I miss sitting home in my elastic gym shorts!

I was able to wear soft waist pants at about a week - yoga pants, dress pants.

I had 2 incisions right at my waistline, jeans just rubbed on it wrong, so it was uncomfortable to wear jeans more than a few hours at a time. By 3 weeks, I was able to wear normally.

I wore leggings the two weeks I was home on leave and was back in my dress clothing when I returned to work after two weeks. My pants were not super tight from my prior weight loss but still not super comfortable until about a month out.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
